Sounds like she got distracted by a crack house. "She says when she called Cleveland police to report the rape and ask for help, she was told she would have to go to the station to file a report. Instead, she made her way to an abandoned home frequented by drug-users and slept for days on a cot before going to a friend's house."

smithkp, you are right. This very poorly written. The last sentence "Jury selection will resume Monday, with court officials bringing prospective panel members to court in waves of 30." indicates that this was the start of jury selection process. A defendant is allowed to be present for the jury selection process. The article is written as if this was a meet and greet tea party.

I had to go to Cleveland Channel 19 news to get a coherent and concise reporting of this event.

Proofreading would be nice here. "A 5-year-old girl not related to the siblings was injured when she was struck by broken glass. Police said the child and her mother were driving past the house when something struck the car window, causing gas to strike the child." What struck the child, glass or gas?
